Catch up...

So Eden, while she was praying last night, must've had a revalation! Ha! She's been asking for a brother or sister since this past summer, and has been praying, on and off, for either. Well, last night she prays, "Dear Lord, thank you for my 2 brothers and I want a sister." Well, needless to say, we're not expecting triplets...but you never know what the Lord has for us! Twins do run on both Jason's and my side of the family.

We did finalize everything this past Thursday & now have a 'different' car sitting in our garage. The Explorer was having (still) transmission issues...progressively worse, the bike was still not being ridden (nevermind the sub-zero temperatures), and let's face it, the price of gas is not going down...and SUV's are not exactly fuel efficient. Of course, the day after I drive home, I notice a nice little bunch of rock chips in the front bumper...glad that first "scratch/ding/dent" is out of the way.

Cabin Fever has officially set in and Eden is planning on drivng Mommy and Samson down to Pop and Teta's next month. We're ready for mole, fajitas, "ba-bah-gahnoosh," and polenta. Eden is jazzed about Samson getting chased by the cows. If, that is, I don't "accidentally" leave him at a rest stop along I-35! Well, that's if he goes, of course.

For now, I'll just daydream about the warm Gulf waters (and since I'm daydreaming, I'll make them turquoise blue Gulf waters), walking outside without my parka and earmuffs, and a tan. Watch out Texas, here come the Brooks' girls! Again!

Teta, aren't you proud...I actually read the help page and am navigating & "situating" a little more than I have been! Where's the gold star?

Happy New Year

...and happy car hunting! AAAGGGHHHHH! ICK and ICK! Praise the Lord for His grace while enduring car shopping. Usually, it's the car sales people that give me anxiety but this time around, it's not being able to find the car that we want! But, the Lord has His timing, His car for us, and prayerfully, a buyer (quickly) for the motorcycle for us. Car dealerships, this time of year will give you a good laugh instead of a decent trade in value for a bike. Oh well; on another note, Eden is growing each day. Physically, she's getting the Baecker-Brooks long legged inseam, she's very active (taking tumbling lessons and loves it), loves animals of all kinds, and will rough-house without a second thought with someone twice as big and old as she! Spiritually, she's memorizing more and more scripture. We're praying that she'll personalize a relationship with her Saviour at an early age. She knows that her "mission in life" is to please God! She's VERY funny and VERY smart! We were on our way home from church last night and she stuck her foot up and said, "Momma, love on my foot!" What a hoot! We miss you all!
